He will try to put the power back into the states in order to simplify our current system. It would make it much easier to catch these political
criminals and vote in or out who deserves it and not have to be forced to deal with what is given to you by the Fed Gov. If a company is doing
something in your state that you don't like, you go to your governor and and tell him why. If he then does not care about the public interest he will
get caught very fast and voted out.

The whole eggs in one basket comment is basically saying that all of our troops will be in one spot ready to be blown up lol

Having troops surrounding your boarders and were they are actually needed is not having them all in one basket.

These wackos really no nothing about about military policy?

Sounds to me like people are coming up with wild scenarios.

Here is a good idea. Lets spread our military so far and wide that if we do get invaded we have less troops here to defend us. We will have to waist
time and money to bring them all back here to fight on American soil. This TIME frame could be the end of us all. They could could take over DC before
the bulk of troops get back here to fight. Same thing with New York, LA, Baltimore etc. We the people would have to defend our selves until the troops
get back here to help.

See I can do it too. Wild scenario building.... Its like writing a story.

Because there is no federal regulations. There needs federal regulations like the EPA, the FCC, the SEC to regulate businesses to make sure that they
are doing a good job at defending citizens liberties. That's the job of those gov't agencies to protect us. Now, there are crooks in those agencies
too, who look for any loopholes they can find that will shut down a reasonably good company. Same goes for corporations but its a checks and balance
system that works. No federal government policies will be very very bad, just like in the 1920s, companies would lock their workers in at night, bad
pay for women and blacks, bad working conditions, child labor... Some of these things still exist today, but its a lot better than it was.

Please explain what government run program is doing well? SS? Medicaid? How about Medicare? How about the post office? Privatizing is a good thing.
Gives the power back to the people and away from the Government. Unless you like your power taken away from you. DO you even know what you want? Or
are you just about the legalization of drugs that RP supports. lol

I find this thread terrifying, his proposals are nothing short of LUNACY and if anyone remotely considers voting for him...wow the US is in a worse
state than anyone realises.

He believes in a strong military offensive, sounds nice but how will this be paid for ? Who's he going to borrow the money from ? Are people today
going to burden future generations with even more debt instead of addressing the issues ? Anyone who thinks thats a good idea shouldnt be a parent.

Hes going to welcome MORE immigrants...where are they going to work ? Immigration is only viable if your workforce isnt big enough to satisfy your
industry and this obviously is NOT the case, why would a Mexican, for example want to come to the US ? They can work in US auto makers factories in
Mexico !!

Eliminating Taxes and cutting them sounds great, but cutting 25% from corporations ? FFS a blind man can see thats a total joke, we continually read
how they avoid paying tax, every day you read of them exporting YOUR jobs and he wants to cut the joke amounts they pay by 25%, that is nothing short
of insulting to the people of America....and this helps addressing the debt how exactly ?

The man is INSANE, he should be locked up, a vote for him is a nail in the coffin of the US, PLEASE wake up my american friends, do NOT destroy your
own country by voting for this suicidal agenda.

Are you a Liberal Democrat? You sound like one.

Letting corporations buy, sell and build how they see fit is NOT corporatism.

Corporations influencing laws and paying off law makers IS.

No, I understand why the government is needed on a federal level. You do not! You just keep on reiterating your same talking points about corporations
influencing laws and paying off law makers, well guess what. Giving the power to the states and eliminating any government oversight which helps stop
that, will not make the problem go away. I don't think you have thought through the plan. Tell me how states will stop the corporate influence without
government oversight? This is a typical Paul attack to make conservatives look like liberals because they understand that some federal government is
needed!

No federal government policies will be very very bad, just like in the 1920s, companies would lock their workers in at night, bad pay for women
and blacks, bad working conditions, child labor... Some of these things still exist today, but its a lot better than it was.

Who cares? Its 2012, not 1920, if your employer does something like the above...

Find a different job.

Derp.

i wouldnt want to work at a pure corporatism company, which is what they will become if Ron Paul world becomes reality!

I'm going to go hang my self with a cherry licorice whip. So that way, when I fail, I can blame the corporation who made the whip and sold it to
me.

But wait...... Suicide is bad, so maybe I should have a big Federal Government to stop me from doing it?

But Its my body..... and I should be able to kill myself if I want to.........

But suicide is bad so, I guess I can't make my own decisions?

But I got this far so Obviously I can.......

Nope because I'm dumb and they are smarter than me. I can't choose for my self. That would be just silly.

Maybe I should just stick to blaming the licorice whip?

um, can you answer my question without going on some delusional rant??? I don't like big government over extended policies any more than you do, but
they at least help us protect ourselves against some corporate rules....
